About Me
I am currently a master’s student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), working at the State Key Laboratory of Coal Combustion, and my supervisor is Prof. Zhaohui Liu. My research focuses on dynamic modeling, digital twin simulation, and AI-based optimal control for complex energy and industrial systems.
During my master’s studies, I developed high-fidelity digital twin models of a 600 MWe supercritical boiler in Modelica/Dymola, achieving over 98% dynamic accuracy, and built real-time simulation frameworks integrating databases and industrial communication protocols. I have also worked on hybrid physical–data modeling, CFD–AI coupling, and model predictive control strategies for large-scale energy systems. My work has resulted in a first-author publication in Energy Conversion and Management (JCR Q1), as well as multiple patents and software copyrights.
Earlier, I completed my bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering, where I co-developed an intelligent greenhouse inspection robot involving mechanical design, embedded control, and cloud–mobile interaction. This work led to a publication in the Journal of Robotics and several national-level awards.
My research interests include digital twin systems, industrial automation, model-based engineering, and intelligent control. I aim to bridge advanced modeling techniques with real-world industry applications and collaborate on practical engineering challenges.
